The Athlete licence system is updated for the 2017 season and is ready to be launched. There is an updated rules document (only minor changes), a new updated licence form and an updated management of the licences in IOF Eventor. The first event where an athlete licence will be needed is the World Ski Orienteering Championships (Krasnoyarsk, Russia) in March 2017.

The licence is annual and all athletes participating in a Senior World Championship or a World Cup event need to sign the agreement and pay the annual licence fee. Based upon feedback received during the first year of use (2016), the agreement has been updated to better balance the obligations of the athlete and the IOF. Athletes who signed the form for the 2016 season do not need to sign the 2017 version, unless they would like to. The form is still needed to be signed on paper and sent to IOF Office for all new licencees.

IOF Eventor has been updated with online payment solutions for the Athlete and for the Federation. The Federation can now purchase licences and assign to their athletes.
